    Pure cinematic bliss. I cant rave about this game enough. Rockstar has yet again proved themselves to be one of the best video game developers in the world. The opening blizzard scene is one of the most graphically stunning set pieces ever and throughtout the game you are treated with incredibly detailed environments that will make you stop and admire more than a handful of times. ThePure cinematic bliss. I cant rave about this game enough. Rockstar has yet again proved themselves to be one of the best video game developers in the world. The opening blizzard scene is one of the most graphically stunning set pieces ever and throughtout the game you are treated with incredibly detailed environments that will make you stop and admire more than a handful of times. The gameplay feels a little clunky at first but after a couple hours into the game you will get a hang of the controls and it becomes extremely rewarding, seamlessly blending in a mix of the dive button, sliding into cover, duel weilding revolvers and fantastic execution animations that trigger when youre grappling or close to an enemy. The horse bonding and controls are the best thats ever been seen in a video game...but what truly makes this game stand out are the characters and the gang. Rockstar has created a game rich with compelling and complex characters that go through incredible amounts of character development over the course of the nearly 60+ hour story mode. Micah Bell is the King Geoffrey if videogames, you love to hate him. Suprisingly Arthur Morgan is one of my favorite video game characters ever. right up there with the likes of Joel and Ellie from the last of us and Kratos and Atreus from God of War. Now the story does start very slow and one of the last chapters becomes a very slow and tedious grind but its one i didnt mind because i enjoyed the characters and story so much (some gamers will find it annoying though). Overall this game is without a doubt, one of the greatest video games ever made and rockstar deserves to be applauded for their efforts. Every gamer needs to experience this game. I give it an easy 10/10. Expand

    So I am writing this review as the end credits roll and must say i'm blown away by the detail of everything. Rockstar has truly made a masterpiece. This is hands down one of the best open world games I have played in a long time. Game of the year for sure. I don't care if you have to kill someone
    to get this game but just play it now.

    Xbox One X is the best place to play Red Dead Redemption 2 in glorious 4K. Despite this version is being reviewed bombed by fake reviews. Just watch Digital Foundry's video

    Many have already said that this game is a masterpiece. And yes, it is. Impressive graphics that make me fold down my jaw, a story that doesn't offend my brain and varied missions and pastimes that don't make the game boring even after hours say it all. But what makes me sure that a game has worked is when the death of the main character makes me cry. Arthur's death didn't leave me cold.Many have already said that this game is a masterpiece.

    Thank you, Rockstar, for this piece of game history.

    It's not only the best Rockstar game, but It's also one of the best games I ever played. Every aspect of the game is a masterpiece. Picture, sound, story, characters. I'm 30+ hours in the game and it keeps surprising me every minute. This open-world is the first one that really works and feels alive.

    Игра шедевр. 12 Антонов Логвиновых из 10. По поводу "недостатков". 1) Да, нету русской озвучки, но русской озвучки нету и в гта5. 2) Игры нету на ПК, но и первой части тоже нету на ПК.

    Played around 30 hours really enjoying the game I wanted to give it a 9.5 out of 10 but it doesn't allow you to do that and only due to it's clunky controls but other than that this game looks brilliant especially at 4K can't wait to put another 30 hours into it.......

    Rockstar ha hecho el mejor juego de su historia y encima este juego estaba especialmente creado para sacar todo el provecho del hardware de xbox one X,que luce a 4k nativo real. Es un juego al cual ademas de tener un modo historia sencillamente espectacular ademas posee una inmensa cantidad de misiones secundarias que te haran que nunca te llegues a aburrir.

    One of the best games I've played in awhile, Renewed my faith in gaming as a whole. It might be too slow for younger players who are probably used to much more fast-paced condensed gaming experiences but I am glad that there are still some AAA gaming franchises left who takes characterization, plot and pacing seriously. A must play.

    ok so you are probably seeing a low score don't trust that its just a lot of pc owners who can't get the game when they never touched it anyway, Red dead 2 is much better than the 1st one I feel like red dead 2 is the best open world I have ever seed and the most realistic world and games I have played
    Only deadshot is not that realistic but thats it my suggestion if you own an xbox or

    This is the greatest game ever created in almost every aspect. The attention to detail is mind blowing and I've never entered such an immersive virtual world. Too bad a lot of butthurt PC gamers are whining in the reviews here. Don't be a dick, consoles are a lot cheaper than your PC. Just buy one already.

    It doesn’t matter if you are gamer, a human being, or an alien from another planet; Red Dead Redemption 2 is a title that you just can’t miss. The bar set by RDR2 is so high that even Rockstar itself will probably have a hard time raising it. One of the best releases in the history of digital entertainment.

    While it has some notable but minor flaws, it's hard to argue that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not a masterpiece. The end result of the meticulous detail, wonderful writing and stunning looks is an open world that sets a new bar for believability, and a time and place I can't stop thinking about or wanting to be a part of.
